The kids really enjoy working in the garden.This week we planted Potatoes, Lettuce and lots of flowers for the bees.
We've added a Bee hotel and a Butterfly hotel to give them a place to live. We put in supports for our Peas and covered the salad in case of a freeze. Our garden is progressing and the kids faces as they work is the greatest reward, even weeding isn't too much for them, because they're having fun. Many had never worked in a garden, some never seen one. This all makes the lesson so much more valuable to me, kids must learn that food doesn't grow in the grocery store and that work is involved. Most importantly, even children can produce food given land, tools and assistance. That's really the message the club wants to spread! If you're good at something, pass your knowledge on to the next generation. If we'd all share our knowledge freely, it could even spread to the poorest of the poor. In the end, they're the ones who need it the most and have been ignored far too long.
